about Shelley.

​​​

Hello! I’m Shelley Long, a Registered Counselling Therapist and Art Therapy Specialist. I specialize in working with adults and teens who feel stuck, have difficulty expressing their emotions, or are seeking a deeper connection with their inner thoughts and experiences. 

​

In therapy, I support individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, as well as those managing neurodiversity and chronic health conditions. I have a deep passion for supporting women through life’s transformations, helping those who feel lost or without direction, and guiding individuals on a path of spiritual growth. I also provide compassionate care and workshops for seniors facing isolation and loneliness, offering support to help them find meaning and connection.

​

My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, integrating mindfulness, existential practices, IFS parts work, somatic therapies, and nature-based methods—alongside my Art Therapy expertise. This blend is particularly beneficial for those who find traditional talk therapy alone challenging, offering alternative ways to explore and process emotions.

​

My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can safely explore your inner world, gain fresh perspectives, and nurture both emotional and spiritual growth on your healing journey.
